6.1 GENERAL

6.1.1 Objective and Purpose of ISSF Rules

The ISSF establishes Technical Rules for the sport of shooting to govern the conduct of shooting events recognized by the ISSF (see ISSF General Regulations). The objective of the ISSF is to achieve uniformity in the conduct of the shooting sport throughout the world to promote the development of the sport. ISSF Technical Rules are provided to help achieve this objective.

6.1.1.1 ISSF Technical Rules include rules for range construction, targets, scoring etc. for all shooting disciplines. Discipline Rules apply specifically to the four shooting disciplines: Rifle, Pistol, Shotgun and Running Target.

6.1.1.2 ISSF Technical and Discipline Rules are approved by the ISSF Administrative Council in accordance with the Constitution of the ISSF.

6.1.1.3 ISSF Technical and Discipline Rules are subordinate to the Constitution of the ISSF and the ISSF General Regulations.

6.1.1.4 ISSF Technical and Discipline Rules are approved to be effective for a minimum of four years beginning on 1 January of the year following the Olympic Games. Except in special situations, ISSF Rules are not changed during this four year period.

6.1.2 Application of ISSF Technical and Discipline Rules

6.1.2.1 Throughout these Rules, competitions where World Records may be established and which are approved by the ISSF in accordance with ISSF General Regulations are referred to as "ISSF supervised Competitions / Championships".

6.1.2.2 ISSF Rules must be applied at all ISSF supervised Competitions / Championships.

6.1.2.3 The ISSF recommends that ISSF Rules be applied at competitions where ISSF events are in the program, even if World Records cannot be established. Such events are referred to as “ISSF Supervised Events”.

6.1.3 Scope of Technical Rules

Technical Rules include:

6.1.3.1 rules for the preparation and organization of ISSF supervised Competitions / Championships;

6.1.3.2 rules for planning the construction and installation of shooting ranges;

6.1.3.3 rules which apply to all shooting disciplines or more than one shooting discipline.

6.1.4 Knowledge of the Rules

All shooters, team leaders and officials must be familiar with the ISSF Rules and must ensure that these Rules are enforced. It is the responsibility of each shooter to comply with the Rules.

6.1.4.1 When a Rule refers to right-handed shooters, the reverse of that Rule refers to left-handed shooters.

6.1.4.2 Unless a Rule applies specifically to a men’s or women’s event, it must apply uniformly to both men’s and women’s events.

6.1.5 Organization and Conduct of ISSF supervised Competitions / Championships

6.1.5.1 An Organizing Committee must be formed in accordance with ISSF General Regulations and is responsible for the preparation, administration and conduct of the shooting competitions. Representative(s) of the ISSF may be invited as technical advisors without voting rights.

6.1.5.2 Chief Range Officer(s) and appropriate Range Officers; Chief of Referees and Referees appointed by the Organizing Committee must be responsible for the technical aspects and conduct of the individual shooting events.

.1.5.2.1 For Shotgun: Chief Referee and Referees

When on duty they are required to wear the “ISSF Shotgun Referee (blue) vest” which must be purchased from the ISSF Headquarters (note: as of WCH 2010)

USA For USAS Shotgun events, a blue referee vest is not required. 6.1.5.2.1A

6.1.5.3 The Organizing Committee must establish a Classification office for testing, stamping, numbering and preparing targets before the competitions, for scoring and controlling targets during competitions and for recording and producing results lists after competitions. The office must be under the supervision of the Chief Classification Officer, with the necessary Assistants.

6.1.5.4 A Chief of Equipment Control and appropriate Equipment Control Officers appointed by the Organizing Committee must be responsible for the Equipment Control.

6.2 SAFETY

SAFETY IS OF PARAMOUNT IMPORTANCE.

6.2.1 ISSF Rules state only specific safety requirements which are required by the ISSF for use in ISSF supervised Competitions / Championships. Necessary and special safety regulations for ranges differ from country to country. For this reason no details are stated within these Rules. The safety of a shooting range depends to a large extent on local conditions, so additional safety rules may be established by the Organizing Committee. The Organizing Committee must know the principles of range safety and take the necessary steps to apply them. The Organizing Committee bears the responsibility for safety. Juries, Range officials, team officials and shooters must be advised of any special regulations.

USA In USA Shooting competitions, the organizing committee may be as 6.2.1A large as needed or as few as one member. The competitions director is responsible for enforcing safety rules and standards.

USA 6.2.1B

Each shooter is responsible for following all safety and gun handling rules mentioned anywhere in the rulebook and all standard safe gun handling procedures.

6.2.2 The safety of shooters, range officials and spectators requires continued and careful attention to gun handling and caution in moving about the range. Self-discipline is necessary on the part of all. Where such self-discipline is lacking, it is the duty of range officials to enforce discipline and the duty of shooters and team officials to assist in such enforcement.

6.2.2.1 In the interest of safety, a Jury Member or a Range Officer may stop the shooting at any time. Shooters and team officials must notify immediately Range Officers or Jury Members of any situation that may be dangerous or which may cause an accident.

USA 6.2.2.1A

Any shooter or official may stop the shooting at any time in the interest of safety.

6.2.2.2 An Equipment Inspector, Range Officer, or Jury Member may pick up a shooter’s equipment (including a gun) for control without his permission, but in his presence and with his knowledge. However, immediate action must be taken when a matter of safety is involved.

6.2.2.3 To ensure safety, all guns must be handled with maximum care at all times. The gun must not be removed from the firing line during the course of fire except with the permission of a range official.

6.2.2.4 While the shooter is on the firing point, the gun must always be pointed in a safe direction. When not actually firing, all guns must be unloaded and the bolt or action must be open. The action, breech or loading device must not be closed until the gun is pointing down range in a safe direction toward the target / butt stop area.

6.2.2.4.1 Even if a Rifle or a 50 m Pistol has a magazine, only one cartridge may be loaded. If a 5-shot air pistol is used in the 10 m Air Pistol Event(s) only one pellet may be loaded.

6.2.2.4.2 In the range, when the gun is not on the firing point, it must always be in its case, unless otherwise authorized by a Range Officer.

6.2.2.5 Before the shooter leaves the firing point, the shooter must ascertain and the Range Officer must verify that the action is open and there is no cartridge or pellet in the chamber or magazine. If the shooter boxes his gun or removes it from the firing point without having it checked by the Range Officer, he may be disqualified.

6.2.2.6 Dry firing and aiming exercises are permitted, but only with the permission of the Range Officer and only on the firing line or in a designated area. Handling of guns is not permitted when operating personnel are forward of the firing line.

6.2.2.6.1 Dry Firing means the release of the cocked trigger mechanism of an unloaded cartridge gun or the release of the trigger mechanism of an air or gas gun fitted with a device which enables the trigger to be operated without releasing the propelling charge (air or gas).

6.2.2.7 Guns/magazines may be loaded only on the firing point and only after the command or signal “LOAD” or “START” is given. At all other times, the guns/magazines must be kept unloaded.

6.2.2.7.1 If a shooter fires a shot before the command “LOAD” or “START”, or after the command “STOP” or ”UNLOAD” has been given he may be disqualified if safety is involved.

6.2.2.7.2 During the competition the gun may be put down only after the cartridge(s) and/or magazine are removed and the action is open. Air and gas guns must be made safe by opening and keeping open the cocking handle and/or loading port.

6.2.2.7.3 When the command or signal to “STOP” is given, shooting must stop immediately. When the command “UNLOAD” is given, all shooters must unload their guns and magazines, and make them safe (to unload air guns ask the Range Officer for permission). Shooting may only be resumed when the appropriate command or signal to “START” is given again.

6.2.2.7.4 The Chief Range Officer, or other appropriate range official, is responsible for giving the commands “LOAD”, “START”, “STOP”, “UNLOAD” and other necessary commands. The Range Officers must ensure that the commands are obeyed and that guns are handled safely.

6.2.2.7.5 Any shooter who touches a gun or magazine, except to unload, after the command “STOP” has been given during an elimination or qualification, relay stage or series, without the permission of the Range Officer, may be disqualified.

6.2.2.8 It is the shooter’s responsibility that any air or Co2 cylinder has been certified as safe and is still within the validity date. The validity date is stamped on the cylinder and is a date in the future at which time the cylinder should be replaced or inspected by a professional.

6.2.3 Ear Protection

Notices must be prominently displayed and hearing protection must be available for all persons in the range area. All shooters and other persons in the immediate vicinity of the firing line are urged to wear ear plugs, ear muffs, or similar ear protection. Hearing protection in the form of ear plugs or muffs (not plain cotton) must be provided for all range officials whose duties require them to be near the firing line during shooting (i.e. Register Keepers, Range Officers, Jury Members etc.). Ear protectors incorporating any type of receiving devices are not permitted for shooters.

6.2.4 Eye Protection

All shooters are urged to wear shatterproof shooting glasses or similar eye protection while shooting.

6.2.5 Sound Producing Equipment

Only sound reducing devices may be used. Radios, tape recorders, or any type of sound producing or communication systems are prohibited during competitions and any training.

6.3.1 General Target Requirements

6.3.1.1 Samples of all paper targets (five (5) of each type) and clay targets

6.3.1.2 (twenty (20) qualification targets and twenty (20) powder filled Finals targets) which are to be used in ISSF supervised Competitions / Championships where World Records may be established must be submitted to the ISSF Secretary General for testing, verification of specifications and approval at least six (6) months prior to the start of such Competitions / Championships.

6.3.1.3 The quality and dimensions of all targets will be examined again by the Technical Delegate(s) prior to the beginning of ISSF supervised Competitions / Championships. Only targets which are the same as the approved samples may be used.

USA 6.3.1A USA 6.3.1B

Official USA Shooting licensed targets must be used in be used in all USA Shooting sanctioned competitions. USA Shooting licensed 50 foot indoor rifle and pistol targets are now commercially available. USA Shooting authorizes the use of the Orion Scoring System at USA Shooting sanctioned rifle events and any additional applications (pistol) as they become available in the future. The use of the Orion Scoring System must be stated in the match program and the following requirements met. Scoring must be consistent throughout the entire competition; competitors must shoot on the same brand name and style of targets. All competition targets must be scored by the same method. If the Orion Scoring System is used, all competition targets must be scored in this manner. Required software for use with the Orion Scoring System: “24 bit color, 300 DPI A4 paper size save each file as an uncompressed JPEG image have a white or black reference color support the 200 grams per square meter paper density of the targets

USA 6.3.1C New

Orion Scoring System Protests The score of an individual shot on a 10-bull target may be protested. A competitor must designate the specific shot to be protested and pay the designated protest fee. The statistical officer or scoring team will evaluate the protested shot by examining the original scan to determine if the shot hole was correctly identified by the system or if there is an obvious error (see the Orion User Manual, sec 5.7) and the shot was scored incorrectly. If there is an obvious error, the statistical officer may make a manual correction of the score. If there is not an obvious error of the shot value, the statistical officer will re-score the protested shot by using the VIS system “Protest Shot” feature. If the original score was correct, a two point penalty will be deducted from the score of the protested shot. If the score protest is upheld, the score will be corrected and the protest fee returned. Decisions regarding the protested shots that were re-scored by the VIS system are final and may not be appealed.

Diameter of the black: 33.38mm.

Rings 3 to 10 are black.

Rings 1 and 2 are not printed on the target in order to promote clarity.

Ring Thickness: 0.2mm to 0.3mm.

Minimum visible size of the target card 267mm x 305mm (10 1/2 x 12 in). Each target card will have 12 bulls-eye. 10 record bulls-eye are printed around the perimeter of the target card with two sighting bulls-eye in the center. Scoring ring values 3 - 8 are printed in the scoring zones on the sighting bulls-eye only. A guard ring is printed around the sighting bulls-eye 10mm (0.5mm) from the outer scoring rings to define the sighting area. All bullet holes are scored according to the highest value of the target scoring zone or ring that is touched by that bullet hole. Any shot outside the 3 ring must be scored as a zero as there are no scoring rings 1 or 2. The Outward Scoring Gauge: The outward scoring gauge should be used to score rings 6-10 on this target. An outward gauge measures against a scoring ring that has not been disturbed by a bullet hole. If the outside edge of the gauge is outside of the outside edge of the scoring ring you are using as your reference, score lower value; if the outside edge of the gauge is tangent to the outer edge of the scoring ring you are using as your reference or closer to the center, score the higher value. The Inward Scoring Gauge: An inward scoring gauge is used for scoring values lower than 6 and inner 10’s if needed. It can be used to score all shots if no outward gauge is available. The inward scoring gauge must touch the scoring ring you are using for your reference to receive the higher value (except the 10-ring).

be totally covered by the inward gauge to score a ‘10’. If any of the 10-ring (dot) is visible with the inward gauge inserted; the shot value is ‘9’. See the ‘Inward Scoring Gauges’ graphic on the following page. Inner Ten Scoring: The inward scoring gauge must be used to determine inner 10’s. Any shot hole where the inner gauge covers the 10-ring (dot) and does not exceed the outside edge of the 8-ring is scored as an inner 10. It is not necessary to score inner tens except if needed for tie-breaking. A shot hole may be plugged twice, only if knowledge of inner ten’s is needed for tie-breaking. Follow all tie-breaking rules in order. If a shot is plugged twice, be very careful inserting the scoring gauge, as the shot hole diameter may have been changed by the first plugging. Shots may not be plugged more than once for any other reason.

6.3.2.8 Gauges for paper targets

For scoring doubtful shot holes, plug gauges of the following dimensions must be used:

USA Courses of fire that require multiple shots on a bull’s-eye will 6.3.2.8A occasionally have groups of three or more shots that contain more shots than can be seen. When that happens and there is no evidence that missing shots went elsewhere, the shooter will be given the benefit of the doubt and credited with the missing shots. If the missing shots could be in either of two scoring rings, the shooter will be credited with the higher value.

USA In USA Shooting sanctioned competitions, shots that have been 6.3.2.8B plugged will be marked with a plus (+) and the score if the shot is scored as the higher value, and a minus (-) and the score if the shot is scored as the lower value. Both scorers will mark and initial the plugged shot and if a third opinion is required, that person will also mark and initial the shot.

6.3.16.9C In USA Shooting sanctioned PTO’s, for all 25m events, two alternative methods may be used if turning or electronic scoring targets are not used/available: 1. A shot timer, with audible start and stop signals, on a fixed target array may be used. The shot timer may sense shots either acoustically or via another method. 2. Red/green start and stop lights, with a shot timer for determining overtime shots, on a fixed target array may be used. Any shots fired before the start signal or after the stop signal (plus a built-in 1/10th second buffer) will be scored as misses (for each shot fired in violation, a 10 point penalty will be assessed). The shot timer must be capable of being set to the specified time limits for each event. If the shot timer senses more than one competitor's shots during a string, only one competitor at a time should fire in order to prevent false readings. If the shot timer senses shots from each competitor individually and accurately records shots from each competitor, multiple competitors may fire at the same time. This method may not be used for team selection.

.3.16.8.6 The time for turning to face the shooter must not exceed 0.3 seconds.

6.3.16.8.7 When the targets have turned, there must be no visible vibration to distract the shooter.

6.3.16.8.8 When viewed from above, the targets must turn in a clockwise direction to the facing position and in a counterclockwise direction to the edge-on position.

Rotation of Turning Targets

6.3.16.8.9 The targets in a section must all turn simultaneously which must be achieved by use of a mechanism which provides efficient operation and accurate timing.

6.3.16.8.10 The automatic turning and timing device must ensure, accurate and consistent timing and that targets remain in the facing position for the specified period of time and that targets return to the edge-on position after the specified time (+0.2 seconds – 0.0 seconds).

6.3.16.8.11 Timing must start the moment the targets begin to face and stop the moment they begin to turn away.

6.3.16.8.12 If the time is less than specified or greater than 0.2 sec, the Range Officer, acting either on his own or on instructions from a Jury Member, must stop the shooting to allow the timing mechanism to be regulated. In such cases, the Jury may postpone the start or restart of shooting.

6.3.16.9 Facing times for 25 m pistol events are:

6.3.16.9.1 25 m Rapid Fire Pistol 8, 6 and 4 seconds;

6.3.16.9.2 25 m Standard Pistol: 150, 20 and 10 seconds;

6.3.16.9.3 25 m Pistol and 25 m Center Fire Pistol Rapid Fire Stage:

facing for three (3) seconds for each shot, alternating with an edge-on face away time of seven (7) seconds (+/- 0.1 second);

6.3.16.9.4 for all facing times a tolerance of + 0.2 seconds – 0.0 seconds is allowed.

6.3.16.10 If solid backing boards are used for the targets, the area corresponding to the eight (8) ring zone must either be cut out from the backing board or be made of cardboard to facilitate scoring.

6.3.16.11 Standards for 25 m Electronic Scoring Target Systems

6.3.16.11.1 When electronic scoring targets are used the timing equipment will be set to give the nominal exposure times plus 0.1 seconds.

6.3.16.11.2 An “after-time” (the period which is to ensure that shots which would have been valid “skid-shots” on conventional targets, are also scored on the electronic targets) will be added at + 0.2 seconds. (Total = 0.3 seconds).

6.3.18 General Standards for Running Target Ranges

6.3.18.1 The range must be so arranged that the target runs horizontally in both directions across an open area with a constant speed. This area, where the target may be fired upon, is called the “opening.” The movement of the target across the opening is called a “run.”

6.3.18.2 The protective walls on both sides of the opening must be of such a height that no part of the target is visible until it reaches the opening. The edges must be marked with a color differing from that of the target.

6.3.18.3 Targets for 50 m are placed on a trolley or target carrier constructed so that the two targets (one running to the left and one to the right) can be alternately shown. The trolley may run on rails, cable, or a similar system and must be moved by a driving unit which can be regulated accurately for speed. Targets for 10 m are not changed for left and right runs.

6.3.18.4 Ranges must be constructed to prevent any person from being exposed to danger during shooting.

6.3.18.5 The shooting station must be arranged so that the shooter is visible to spectators. The shooting station must be protected from rain. The shooter should also be protected from sun and wind if this does not prevent spectators from seeing him.

6.3.18.5.1 The shooting station must be at least 1 m wide and aligned with the center line of fire. The Dry Firing position must be located to the left of

the shooting station. The shooting station must be screened on both sides with separating partitions so that the shooter is not disturbed by dry firing or other extraneous influences. The separating partition between the firing point and the dry firing point must not be longer than to allow the dry firing shooter to watch the ready position of the competition shooter by observing the muzzle movement of his rifle.

6.3.18.6 In front of the shooter there must be a bench or a table 0.7 m – 0.8 m high.

6.3.18.7 Behind the shooter there must be a place for the Range Officer and at least one member of the Jury. The Register Keepers must be located either behind or at the side of the shooting station.

6.3.18.8 Run times for the targets are:

Slow runs: 5.0 seconds, + 0.2 seconds – 0.0 seconds Fast runs: 2.5 seconds, + 0.1 seconds – 0.0 seconds

6.3.18.9 Timing should preferably be done by using an electronic timer which is started and stopped by switches mounted on the rail. If this method cannot be used, timing may be done by using three (3) stop watches operated by three different persons. The middle (median) of the three (3) times must be counted. If the run time is found to be less or more than that specified, range personnel or the Jury must regulate the time to within the specified run time standards. If the timer is built into the starting control, the timing must be examined by the Jury and sealed.

6.3.18.10 For ISSF approved and supervised Competitions / Championships the timing must be electronically controlled and continually displayed for inspection by shooters and officials. Any deviation must be corrected immediately.

A visible length of target track B opening of the wall between visible corners C distance from the target to the visible corner of the wall D shooting distance Formula for determining the opening: B = A x (D – C) / D

Example (50 m): C= 0,20 m

B = 10.00 m x (50.00 m – 0.20 m) / 50.00 m B = 10.00 m x 49.80 / 50.00 = 10.00 m x 0.996 B = 9.96 m

Example (10 m): C= 0,15 m

B = 2.00 m x (10.00 m – 0.15 m) / 10.00 m B = 2.00 m x 9.85 / 10.00 = 2.00 m x 0.985 B = 1.97 m

6.3.18.11.1 Special Standards for 50 m Running Target Ranges

6.3.18.11.1.1 There must be a vertical wall on both sides of the opening for the protection of operating personnel and scorers.

6.3.18.11.1.2 There must be an embankment behind the opening. In front of the opening there must be a low wall to conceal and protect the target carrying mechanism.

6.3.18.11.1.3 The visible length of the target track must be: 10.00 m (+ 0.05 m / - 0.00 m) as seen from the firing point. This must be considered when measuring the opening since the distance between the visible corner of the wall and the target increases the distance over which the target is visible.

6.3.18.11.2 Special Standards for 10 m Running Target Ranges

6.3.18.11.2.1 If target changing and shot evaluation is done behind the target carrier, there must be sufficient protection for operating personnel and scorers.

The target changing and evaluation must be supervised by a member of the Jury.

USA In USA Shooting sanctioned competitions, scoring may be 6.3.18.11.2.1A accomplished by a scoring team appointed by the classification officer.

6.3.18.11.2.2 Behind the opening there must be a backstop to stop pellets and prevent ricochets. The target carrying mechanism must be protected by a front cover plate.

6.3.18.11.2.3 The visible length of the target track must be: 2.00 m (+ 0.01 m / - 0.00 m) as seen from the firing point. This must be considered when measuring the opening since the distance between the visible corner of the wall and the target increases the distance over which the target is visible.

6.3.18.11.2.4 Two shooting stations may be installed and used alternately, to save time. In this case, the two firing points must not deviate from the standards.

6.3.18.11.2.5 When electronic scoring targets are used the timing equipment will be set to give the nominal exposure times plus 0.1 seconds. This should ensure that the earlier appearance of the aiming mark of the electronic scoring target is allowed for.

6.3.19 General Standards for Shotgun Ranges

Ranges, which are constructed in the Northern Hemisphere, should be laid out so shooting is toward a North to North-Easterly direction. Ranges, which are constructed in the Southern Hemisphere, should be laid out so shooting is toward a South to South-Easterly direction. These arrangements place the sun to the back of the shooter as much as possible during the shooting day.

New shotgun ranges must be constructed, where it is deemed necessary, with a shot fall zone reasonably level and free of obstacles to permit mechanical salvage and recovery of the lead pellets.

6.3.19.1 Standards for Trap Ranges

6.3.19.1.1 The Trap Pit

The trap pit must be constructed so that the upper surface of the roof is on the same elevation as the surface of the shooting stations. Interior measurements of the trap pit should be approximately 20 m from end to end, 2 m from front to rear, and 2 m to 2.10 m from the floor to the under side of the roof. These dimensions will allow freedom of movement for working personnel and sufficient storage space for targets (see Figures).

USA Automatic Trap Houses 6.3.19.1.1A The trap house must be constructed so that the upper surface of the

roof is on the same elevation as the surfacce of the shooting stations. Interior measurements of the trap pit should be approximately 4m from end to end, 2m from front to rear, and 2m to 2.1 m from the floor to the under side of the roof. These dimensions will allow freedom of movement for working personnel and sufficient storage space for targets.

The distance between the center of machine 15 on Range A and the center of the machine one (1) on Range B must not be less than 35 m. For pre-existing ranges with a distance less than 35 m, as specified above, the Jury may reduce the throwing angles of the settings of machine 13 of Range A, and machine three (3) of Range B, if necessary, to prevent those targets from crossing over into the target flight path of the adjoining range and disturbing those shooters.

6.3.19.2 The traps (clay target throwing machines)

Each trap pit must have 15 traps attached to the front wall of the pit. The traps must be divided into five (5) groups of three (3). The center of each group must be indicated only by a painted mark on the top of the roof which must be positioned so that it must indicate the point above the center trap of each group at which a target must emerge when set to throw at zero (0) degrees. The distance between traps within each group must be equal, from 1.00 m to 1.10 m. The distance between the center traps of adjacent groups should be 3.00 m to 3.30 m. For existing ranges this may be 3.00 m to 6.00 m.

USA Automatic Traps (clay target throwing machines):

6.3.19.2A The trap house shall be equipped with a single multi-oscillating (vertical and horizontal directions) mechanical or electrically operated trap. It may be either manually or automatically loaded. Targets may be released manually or electrically. The trap will be so constricted and mounted that it will throw random, and continuously changing angles and elevations, targets within the vertical and horizontal limits stated in Rule 6.3.22.3.

6.3.19.2.1 In the case of use of machines with left-hand (clockwise) rotation of throwing arms the distance between the left side (viewed from behind) and the center machine in each group may be reduced to less than the prescribed 1.00 m to 1.10 m (see also rule 6.3.21.1).

6.3.19.3 The traps must be installed in the pit so that the pivot point of the throwing arm is 0.50 m (+/-0.10 m) below the top surface of the roof of the trap pit and set back 0.50 m (+/-0.10 m) from the front edge of the roof when the trap is set at the 2 m elevation. This is defined as the Throwing Point. Traps may be fully automatic (self loading and cocking), semiautomatic (hand loaded and self cocking), or manual (hand loaded and cocked). Each trap must be provided with a means of sealing its elevation angle, and main spring tension after these have been inspected and approved by the Jury. All traps must be provided with a means of making target throwing settings on a precise setting. All traps which are hand loaded must have two stops fixed to them. The stops are necessary to prevent accidental or deliberate movement of the target forward or backward on the throwing arm, thus changing the preset directions of the target. Each trap must have the elevation and angle sectors marked in increments of 10 degrees.

6.3.19.4 The traps must be released by an electric-manual or electric-microphone system. The control system must be placed in such a position that the puller can clearly see and hear the call of the shooter. The release devices must guarantee equal distribution of targets to each shooter in a series of 25 targets. This distribution must be: 10 targets to the right, 10 targets to the left and 5 targets to the center.

With the correct distribution, in a series of 25 targets, each group of traps must throw two targets from the left trap, two from the right trap and one from the center trap as the shooters progress from station 1 to 5. After every five (5) targets the selector index must be advanced one step.

6.3.19.5 The five (5) shooting stations must be arranged on a straight line at a distance 15 m to the rear of the front edge of the trap pit. Each station must be prominently marked with a square 1 m x 1 m which is centered on a line perpendicular to the line of shooting stations and extending through the painted mark which indicates the zero degree exit point above the middle machine in each group of three. A sixth station must be marked about 2 m to the rear and slightly to the left of Station 1 where shooter number 6 may take his position. All six (6) shooting stations must have a table or bench where the shooters may place their extra cartridges and other equipment. The stations must be firm and level in all directions. Each station must have at the front right and left hand corners a block of wood, piece of carpet or rubber about 15 cm square or round upon which the shooter may rest his gun.

6.3.19.5.1 For Trap Finals a medium intensity colored lamp must be positioned on the Station 1 microphone stand or on a separate stand placed on the left hand side behind Station 1 at a distance of 1.0 m to 1.5 m at a height of 40 cm to 50 cm. The lamp must be controlled by a system which must be so constructed as to indicate that for a period of 10 to 12 seconds immediately after the shooter on Station 5 has shot at a regular target that the microphone on Station 1 is inoperable.

USA USA Shooting sanctioned competitions may be conducted on a range 6.3.19.5.1A that does not provide complete protection from sun and rain until such time as it is feasible to upgrade the range.

6.3.19.5.2 3 m to 4 m behind the line of shooting stations a path must be provided for mandatory use by the shooters moving from station 5 to station 6. Shooters must not pass between the path and the shooting stations. A wire, rope or other suitable barrier is to be erected 7 m to 10 m behind the return walkway. No spectators are to be allowed within this barrier. The Referee and Jury Members are responsible for enforcing this rule. The shooting stations, referee’s stand and operator’s stand should have adequate protection from sun and rain.

USA 6.3.19.5.2B USA Shooting sanctioned competitions may be conducted without a

barrier behind the return walkway. Referees and jury members are responsible for keeping spectators back an adequate distance from the shooters and the firing line.

6.3.20 Trap and Double Trap pit section

6.3.21 Standards for Double Trap Ranges

6.3.21.1 The Trap Pit

Trap ranges are most commonly adapted to Double Trap competition by using the center group of traps, numbers 7, 8 and 9, directly in front of Station 3. See Double Trap Rules.

6.3.21.2 Distances between Trap Pits

6.3.21.2.1 See Rule 6.3.19.1.2 when Trap pits are used.

6.3.21.2.2 When separate Double Trap pits are constructed, see Figures 6.3.21.2.9, the distance from the center machine on one field to the center machine on the adjoining field should not be less than 35 m. (The angles of targets in Double Trap (see Figure) are not so severe as Trap therefore do not need reductions.)

6.3.21.2.3 The Traps (target throwing machine)

Each Double Trap pit must have three (3) Traps attached to the front wall of the pit. The zero degree exit point of the center trap of the group must be indicated only by a painted mark on the top side of the pit roof. The distance between traps within the group must be equal, from 1.00 m to 1.10 m (see Rule 6.3.19.2). Traps number 1 and number 3 should be a minimum of 1.50 m from the end walls.

6.3.21.2.4 The traps must be installed in the pit so that the pivot point of the throwing arm is 0.50 m (+/-0.10 m) below the top surface of the roof of the trap house and set back 0.50 m (+/-0.10 m) from the front edge of the roof when the trap is set at the 2 m elevation (see Figures). Traps may be fully automatic (self loading and cocking), semiautomatic (hand loaded and self cocking), or manual (hand loaded and cocked). Each trap must be provided with a means of sealing its elevation, angle, and main spring tension after these have been inspected and approved by the Jury. All traps must be provided with a means of allowing target throwing on a precise setting. All traps which are hand loaded must have two stops fixed to them. The stops are necessary to prevent accidental or deliberate movement of the target forward or backward on the throwing arm, thus changing the preset directions of the target. Each trap must have the elevation and angle sectors marked in increments of 10 degrees.

6.3.21.2.5 The traps must be released by an electric-manual or electric-microphone system fitted with a timer device. The control system must be placed in such a position that the puller can clearly see and hear the call of the shooter. For all ISSF championships an automatic timer must be used. The timer device must be set to release the targets within the period varying randomly from zero (0) to one (1) second after the shooter’s call. The system must guarantee the simultaneous release of the two (2) targets from the predetermined traps. Where an electric-manual system is used, the release device must be designed so that only one (1) button or switch can be used to release the targets.

6.3.21.2.6 The five (5) shooting stations must be arranged on a straight line at a distance of 15 m to the rear and parallel to the front edge of the trap pit. Each station must be prominently marked with a square 1 m x 1 m. Station 3 must be centered on a line extending through the painted mark above the middle trap in the group. Station 2 is 3 m – 3.30 m to the left of Station 3 and Station 1 is equidistant to the left of Station 2. Likewise Station 4 is 3 m – 3.30 m to the right of Station 3 and Station 5 equally 3 m – 3.30 m to the right of Station 4 (see Figure, Separate Double Trap Range). A sixth Station must also be marked about 2 m to the rear and slightly to the left of station 1 where shooter number 6 may take his position at the start of the competition. All six of the shooting stations must be furnished with a table or bench where the shooters may place their extra cartridges and equipment. The stations must be firm and level in all directions and must be at the same elevation as the front edge of the roof of the trap pit. Each station (six) must also have a block of wood, piece of carpet or thick rubber sheet about 15 cm square or round upon which a shooter may rest his gun.

6.3.22 Standards for Skeet Ranges

6.3.22.1 A skeet field consists of two houses (high house and low house) and eight shooting stations. Stations 1 through 7 are arranged on a segment of a circle with a 19.2 m radius and a base chord of 36.8 m (with a tolerance of +/- 0.1 m) which is 5.5 m from the center point of the circle which is marked by a stake.

6.3.22.1.1 The center of the circle is marked by a stake which also marks the base of the target crossing point.

6.3.22.1.2 Station 1 is located at the left end of the base chord and station 7 at the right end when standing anywhere on the segment of the circle and facing the center stake. Stations 2 through 6 are located on the segment of the circle at points equidistant from each other (the exact distance between the center of the front of the stations 1 and 2, 2 and 3, etc., is 8.13 m on chord). Station 8 is located at the center of the base chord (see Figure).

6.3.22.2 Shooting stations 1 through 7 are 0.9 m +/-0.05 m x 0.9 m +/-0.05 m square, with two sides parallel to a radius of the circle drawn through the station marker (center of the station). Shooting station 8 is rectangular, 0.9 m +/-0.05 m wide by 1.85 m +/-0.05 m long, with its long sides parallel to the base chord. The location of each shooting station must be accurately indicated. The markers for shooting stations 1 through 7 are on the center of the side nearest the target crossing point. The marker for shooting station 8 is on the center point of the base chord. All 8 shooting stations must be on the same level, within +/-0.05 m difference in elevation.

6.3.22.3 Target Distances, Angles and Elevations

6.3.22.3.1 Each trap house must contain a trap (clay target throwing machine) in a fixed position.

6.3.22.3.2 Targets thrown from the high house must emerge at a point 0.9 m +/-0.05 m behind the station marker 1 (measured along the extended base chord) and 3.05 m +/-0.05 m above the level of station 1. The target thrown from the low house must emerge at a point 0.9 m +/-0.05 m behind station marker 7 (measured along the extended base chord) (moved 0.75 m +/-0.05 m to the exterior of the base chord) and 1.05 m +/-0.05 m above the level of station 7.

6.3.22.3.3 Targets properly released must pass through a circle 0.9 m – 0.95 m in diameter, located 4.60 m +/-0.05 m above the target center point.

6.3.22.3.4 In calm weather conditions targets must carry a minimum of 65 m and a maximum of 67 m as measured from the face of the house behind stations 1 and 7. If the correct distance cannot be verified by measurement, the Jury will decide the trajectory of the targets.

6.3.22.4 The shooting boundaries of stations 1 to 7 are 40.3 m +/-0.1 m from the face of each house. For station 8 the shooting boundary is determined by the crossing point between a straight line running from station 4 to station 8 and the target crossing point. Suitable markers must be placed on the target flight path, at points 40.3 m +/-0.1 m from both the high house and the low house, to indicate the shooting boundaries. Similar markers must be placed at 65 m and 67 m to indicate the distance of a regular target.

6.3.22.5 A safety shield must be installed at the opening of each trap house so that the trap operator is not visible to a shooter on any station. This precaution is mandatory as a safety measure to protect the operator from possible injury from direct or ricocheting shot, and the shooters from broken targets emerging from the opening of the trap-house. A wire, rope or other suitable barrier is to be erected 7 m to 10 m behind Station 4 and parallel to the base chord. No spectators are allowed within this barrier. The Referee and Jury Members are responsible for enforcing this Rule.

6.3.22.6 The traps must be released by an electric-manual or electric-microphone system (see note below) with a timer device which must be installed so as to allow the operator to see and hear the competitors. For all ISSF supervised Competitions / Championships the use of a timer is mandatory. This must provide for the release of the targets within an indefinite period of time, varying from instant release up to a maximum of three (3) seconds after the shooter has called for his target. The release device must be designed so that only one (1) button (or switch) can be used to release double targets.

Note: If an electro-microphone system is to be used, it must be so constructed as to randomly insert a delay varying from 0.2 to 3.0 seconds.

6.3.22.7 A colored lamp must be fitted to the outside of both high and low houses. The lamps must light immediately when the Puller presses the release and extinguish when the target(s) are thrown. The lamps must be clearly visible to the referee. The lamp must be installed on the side of the skeet house which faces the spectator area at a height of 2.2 m – 2.8 m on the high house and 1.6 m – 2.0 m on the low house.

6.5 PRE-MATCH ADMINISTRATION

(Firing Point Allocation and Elimination Matches)

6.5.1 National Federations must submit final entries with the names of the shooters for individual and/or team events to the Organizing Committee at least 30 days in advance of the championships.

USA At USA Shooting sanctioned competitions, final entries must be 6.5.1A completed prior to the start of the event.

6.5.2 Shooters and Team Officials must be informed of the exact shooting time schedules no later than 12:00 hours on the day preceding the competition. This rule also applies for training.

USA At USA Shooting sanctioned competitions, squadding may be posted at 6.5.2A the range in time for the arrival of the competitors.

6.5.3 A shooter, in a team event only, may be replaced by an already registered shooter not later than 30 min before the scheduled start time for that event. This rule also applies for competitions composed of several parts or carried out over several days.

6.5.4 Basic principles for firing point allocation

6.5.4.1 Individual shooters and teams (nations) should be able to shoot under conditions that are as near to equal as possible.

USA On ranges where relatively equal conditions are not available on the 6.5.4.1A entire range, or in selection matches where leading shooters must be given conditions as equal as possible, firing points may be allocated by seeding them according to scores in qualifying competition or previous results in the same competition.

6.5.4.1.1 Shooters from the same nation should not be allocated adjacent firing position.

6.5.4.1.2 Shooters from the same nation should be split as equitably as possible between relays.

6.5.4.1.3 If more than one relay is used in team competitions, then team members must be distributed equitably between the relays.

6.5.4.2 The random allocation of shooters to firing points and relays may be done either by the drawing of the lots or with a computer program suited to this purpose, under supervision of the Technical Delegate(s).

6.5.4.3 Whenever draws are used to determine firing positions the Technical Delegate must approve the range constraints to be taken into account.

6.5.4.4 10 m Air Rifle and Air Pistol Events

6.5.4.4.1 If there are more shooters than targets in air rifle / air pistol events the targets must be distributed by drawing lots for two or more relays.

6.5.4.5 Elimination Events for Outdoor Ranges

6.5.4.5.1 If the number of shooters exceeds the useable capacity of the range, an Elimination must be conducted.

USA In USA Shooting sanctioned competitions the organizing committee 6.5.4.5.1A may allocate firing points based on the order in which the entires are received up to range capacity, PTO score, orther qualifying score, state resident, etc.

6.5.4.5.2 Any Elimination must be over the complete course of fire.

6.5.4.5.3 The qualfication shooters must consist of a proportionate number of highest ranking shooters from each elimination relay, counting only those who participate. The number of shooters who will qualify must be announced as soon as possible.

6.5.4.5.4 Formula: The usable number of firing points is divided by the total number of shooters starting in the competition multiplied by the number of shooters starting in the relay to give the number of shooters going forward from the Elimination to the Qualification, e.g. 60 firing points and 101 shooters;

1st relay: 54 shooters start = 32.08 32 shooters forward;

2nd relay: 47 shooters start = 27.92 28 shooters forward.

6.5.4.6 When team matches are programmed and eliminations are required, team members/nations must be equitably divided between the elimination relays. Team scores are taken from these relays.

6.5.4.6.1 If insufficient targets are available to allocate two team members from each team to the first relay and the remaining member from each team to the second relay, then it will be necessary to have three relays with one member from each team on each relay.

6.5.4.7 A shooter who does not qualify must not be allowed to participate further in the event.

6.5.4.7.1 If there are tied scores for the last places in an elimination the order of ranking will be determined according to the Tie Breaking Rules.

6.5.4.8 If a rifle competition lasts for more than one day, all shooters must fire an equal number of shots in the same position or positions each day.

6.5.4.8.1 If a pistol competition is divided into two (2) parts or days, all shooters must finish the first part before the second part or day may begin. All shooters must fire an equal number of shots / series each day.

6.5.4.9 Firing point allocation - 25 m Rapid Fire Pistol Event

6.5.4.9.1 The second 30 shot stage must begin only after all shooters have completed the first 30 shot stage. If there are fewer shooters than are

necessary to completely fill all relays then gaps must be left in the last relay of the first stage and in the last relay of the second stage when the event is held over two (2) days.

6.5.4.9.2 For the 2nd stage, the order of relays must be changed as follows:

6.5.4.9.2.1 A shooter having fired in the left side firing station in the first stage, must shoot in the right side firing station (of the same Range Section) in the second stage (and vice versa).

6.5.4.9.4 When the event is held over two days

6.5.4.9.4.1 For a competition to be completed in two days the first relay in the second stage must be the middle relay of the first stage, or if there is an equal number of relays, the relay immediately after the middle of the first stage; for example:

6.5.6 Running Target

6.5.6.1 Every shooter must shoot the entire competition on the assigned range. Any change in range assignments may be made only if the Jury decides that there are different range conditions such as light conditions.

6.5.6.2 If the event is conducted in one (1) day, the order of shooting for the second stage must remain the same as the order of shooting for the first stage.

6.5.6.3 If the event is conducted over two (2) days the shooter in the lowest ranking position at the end of the first day shoots first on the second day, and the shooter in the highest ranking position at the end of the first day shoots last on the second day.

6.8.14.1 All bullet holes are scored according to the highest value of the target scoring zone or ring that is touched by that bullet hole. If any part of a scoring ring (demarcation line between the scoring zones) is touched by the bullet, the shot must be scored the higher value of the two scoring zones. Such a hit is determined by whether the bullet hole or a plug gauge inserted in the hole touches any part of the outside edge of the scoring ring.

An exception to this Rule is the scoring of inner tens on the air rifle target.

USA Another exception to this Rule is the scoring of tens and inner 6.8.14.1A tens on the 50 foot rifle target (see Rule USA 6.3.2.2C)

6.8.14.2 Shots in dispute must be determined as to value by means of a gauge or other device. Gauges must always be inserted into the shot hole with the target in the horizontal position.

USA Guages certified by USA Shooting may be used in USA Shooting 6.8.14.2A sanctioned competitions.

6.8.14.3 When the accurate use of the plug gauge is made difficult by the close proximity of another bullet hole, the shot value must be determined by means of an engraved gauge of some flat, transparent material, to aid in reconstructing the position of a scoring ring or number of bullet holes which may overlap.

6.8.14.4 If two scoring officials do not agree on the value of a shot, a decision from the Jury must be requested immediately.

USA In USA Shooting sanctioned competitions, a third qualified scorer or 6.8.14.4A scoring supervisor or jury member may resolve the question of shot value

6.8.14.5 The plug gauge may be inserted only once in any bullet hole and only by a Jury Member. For this reason the use of a gauge must be marked on the target by the scoring officials, together with their initials, and showing the result.

6.8.14.6 Hits outside the scoring rings of the shooter’s own target are scored as misses.

6.8.15 All irregularities, penalties, misses, malfunctions, extra time allowed, repeated shots / series or annulment of shots, etc., must be clearly marked and recorded on a Range Incident Report Form IR (see form at the end of these Rules), the Range Register, printer strip, on the target and on the score card (paper target) by a Range Officer and/or Jury Member for the attention of the Classification Office.

6.8.16 Deductions from the score must always be made in the series in which the violation occurred. If general deductions are involved they must be made from the lowest value competition shot(s) in the first series.

6.9 SCORING PROCEDURES (PAPER TARGETS) 25 M EVENTS

USA In USA Shooting sanctioned competitions other than National 6.9.1A Championships and Selection Matches, the targets may be scored and repaired after each 10 shot double series. USA When non-mechanical paper target systems are used in selection 6.9.1B matches, the targets may be scored and repaired after each 10 shot double series.

6.9.1.1 Skid Shots

6.9.1.1.1 Shots fired while the target is in motion must not be scored as hits unless the greatest horizontal dimension of the bullet hole (surface lead/bullet marking on the target is ignored) measures not more than 7 mm in the 25 m Rim fire 5.6 mm (.22”) Events, or 11 mm in the 25 m Center Fire Pistol Event.

6.9.1.1.2 The horizontally elongated bullet hole in the target must be measured with a skid gauge. When the inside edge of the engraved lines touches a scoring ring, the score will count to the higher value of the two zones

6.9.1.2 The Jury must supervise all scoring procedures.

6.9.1.2.1 Marking, Scoring and Recording Shot Values

6.9.1.2.2 As soon as the Target Officer receives the signal that the range is safe, the targets must be faced. The Target Officer, along with at least one Jury Member, must signal the values of the bullet holes on each target and call them loudly to the Register Keeper on the firing line. The Register Keeper records them on the Range Register and on the small scoreboard near his desk.

6.9.1.2.3 The Second Register Keeper must accompany the Target Officer and record the value of the shots on a scorecard as they are called by the Target Officer.

6.9.1.2.4 The position and value of the shot on the target must be indicated to the shooter and spectators as follows:

6.9.1.2.4.1 using colored spotting discs in the 25 m Rapid Fire Pistol Event. These discs should have a diameter of 30 mm to 50 mm. They must be colored red on one side and white on the other. They should have a spindle through the center of the disc extending on both sides of approximately 5 mm diameter and 30 mm in length. After every five shot series, and after the value of the shots has been decided and called, the discs must be placed in the bullet holes by the Target Officer;

6.9.1.2.4.2 a ten must be indicated with the red side facing the shooter. Values less than ten must be indicated with the white side facing the shooter. After the hits have been indicated in this manner, the total result for the series must be shown on the small scoreboard near the target line, and recorded by the Second Register Keeper. The series total must also be called. The discs must then be removed and the targets patched;

6.9.1.2.4.3 in the 25 m Standard Pistol, 25 m Pistol and 25 m Center Fire Pistol Events, shot values and locations are indicated by means of a wand

USA In USA Shooting sanctioned Pistol competitions other than National 6.11.1.1.1.1A Championships and Selection Matches, the sponsor may specify multiple shots per target (bull’seye) but not over five (5) shots per

target. When multiple shots per target are allowed it must state so in the competition program.

6.11.1.1.1.2 Immediately after each series of ten shots the shooter must put the ten targets in a convenient place for the Register Keeper who must put them in a secure container to be collected by authorized personnel for delivery to the Classification Office.

USA In USA Shooting sanctioned competitions, the range officer will instruct 6.11.1.1.1.2A shooter as to where to place fired targets and may designate when they will be picked up (i.e. after entire match, etc.).

6.11.1.1.2 50 m Rifle and 50 m Pistol

6.11.1.1.2.1 If automatic target carriers or changers are used, the shooter may control target changing or target changing may be controlled by the Register Keeper. In either case, the shooter is responsible for shooting on the correct target.

6.11.1.1.2.2 If the shooter considers the marking or target changing is too slow, he may report this to the Range Officer. If the Range Officer or the Jury considers the claim justified, they must correct the situation. If the shooter or a team official considers there is no improvement, the shooter or a team official may protest to the Jury. The Jury may grant a time extension up to a maximum of 10 minutes. Such claims cannot be made in the last 30 minutes of the competition except in unusual circumstances.

6.11.1.2 Electronic Scoring Targets

It is essential that shooters familiarize themselves during training with the control buttons that alter the target presentation on the monitor screen (ZOOM facility) and that change from a Sighting target to a Match target (MATCH). In 10 m and 50 m events the change from sighters to match is under control of, and is the responsibility of, the shooter. If any shooter is in doubt, he must ask a Range Officer for assistance. In 25 m events the control and responsibility is by the range personnel.

6.11.1.2.1 It is not permitted to obscure the shooter’s monitor-screen or any part of the screen. The whole screen must be visible to the Jury and range personnel.

6.11.1.2.2 Shooters and Range Officials must not touch the printer control panels and/or printer strips before the end of the relay, or event, except when authorized by the Jury. Shooters should sign the printer strip (next to the score total) before leaving the range to identify their score.

6.11.1.2.3 When a shooter fails to sign the printer strip a Jury Member or Range Official should initial this printer strip to allow it to be sent to the Classification Office.

6.11.2 Rules for 10 m and 50 m Rifle and Pistol Events

6.11.2.1 Preparation Time

6.11.2.1.1 Shooters must be given 10 minutes before the competition starts to make their final preparation. During the Preparation Time the sighting targets must be visible. The Chief Range Officer must permit shooters to bring their equipment to the firing point before the Preparation Time, providing any previous relay has finished. The Chief Range Officer will announce when the previous relay has finished. Pre-competition checks by the jury and range officers must be completed before the Preparation Time begins.

6.11.2.1.2 Then they will be given the command “PREPARATION TIME BEGINS NOW”. Before and during the Preparation Time shooters may handle their guns, dry fire, carry out holding and aiming exercises on the firing line providing there are no personnel forward of the firing points.

6.11.2.2 Start

6.11.2.2.1 No shot may be fired before the start of the event.

6.11.2.2.2 The competition is considered to have started when the Chief Range Officer has given the command "START". Every shot fired after the

competitor completes his sighting shots must be recorded for the competition. However, dry firing is allowed.

6.11.2.3 Sighting shots – shots before START and after STOP

6.11.2.3.1 Sighting shots (unlimited in number) may be fired only before the beginning of each competition or position. Once the first competition shot has been fired, no further sighting shots are allowed unless permitted by the Jury in accordance with these Rules. Any further sighting shot(s) fired in contravention of this rule must be scored as miss(es) in the competition.

USA When a multiple bull’seye target (with sighting bull’seye) is used, andthe 6.11.2.3.1A shooter in the first fired shot of the target (sighting bull’seye) misses the scoring area of the sighting bull’seye or hits outside the guard line or ring when printed on targets, the shooter shall: halt firing, call a Range Official, have the Range Official verify that the shot is not in the sighting bull’seye. The Range Official shall record this fact and the shooter shall commence firing at the sighting bull’seye again. The Range Official will continue to observe until the shooter’s shot hits the scoring area of the sighting bull’seye. At this point, the Range Official will verify all previous shots as sighting shots (they will not be scored as misses) and the shooter will continue firing the matchunder the rules of the match. No extra time will be allowed for the procedure above. Additional shots outside the scoring rings, or guard line will be scored as record shots. All penalties used in scoring will be in force after the first shot that strikes the sighting bull’seye. This procedure may only be used when there is one shot hole on the target.

USA When a multiple bull’seye target is used in a match requiring breaking 6.11.2.3.1B of position to hang additional targets in order to complete the aggregate New of the position; the shooter will be given additional sighting time and be allowed to shoot sighters on all sighter bulls-eye on the target. In any case, the shooter will be allowed to use all the sighter bulls-eye on the target but once finished with sighting, the shooter may not return to the sighter bull’seye.

USA When more than one multipe bull’seye target can be hung at one time; 6.11.2.3.1C all sighter bulls-eye on all targets hung may be used for sighting by the New shooter. Once the shooter goes from sighting to competition, the shooter may not go back to the sighting bulls-eye. If the match requires breaking of position to hang additional targets in order to complete the aggregate of the position; the shooter must be given additional sighting time and all sighting bulls-eye on the targets hung may be used before going to the competition bulls-eye.

6.11.2.3.2 A shot or shots which are fired before the start of the official shooting time must incur a penalty of two (2) points on the first competition target for each shot fired. A shot or shots, which are not fired at all, must be scored as miss(es) on the last competition target(s). The same applies to shots fired after the end of the official shooting time, unless the Chief Range Officer or a Jury Member has authorized extra time. If a late shot(s) cannot be identified, such shot(s) must be nullified by deducting the highest value shot(s) from that target.

6.11.3 Time remaining

6.11.3.1 The Chief Range Officer must inform the shooters of the time remaining by loudspeaker at both ten (10) minutes and five (5) minutes before the end of the shooting time.

USA In USA Shooting sanctioned competitions for times stages of 20 6.11.3.1A minutes, time will only be announced at five (5) minutes and for times stages of ten (10) minutes time will only be announced at two (2) minutes before the end of the shooting time.

USA USA Shooting will sanction competitions that last for more than one day 6.11.3.1B if the conditions are essentially the same each day; i.e., indoor. Shooters may shoot on one or more days as specified in the competition program.

6.11.3.2 The competition must stop at the command “STOP” or at the appropriate signal.

6.11.3.3 If a shot(s) is fired after the command or signal “STOP”, that shot(s) must be counted as a miss. If the shot(s) cannot be identified the best hit(s) must be deducted from the score of that target and scored as miss(es).

6.11.4 Specific rules for the 10 m Air Gun Events

6.11.4.1 If a shooter releases the propelling charge during the preparation time he must be given a WARNING for the first violation and a DEDUCTION of two (2) points from the lowest value shot of the first competition series for the second and subsequent violations.

6.11.4.1.1 Any release of the propelling charge, after the first competition target is in place, without a hit on the target will be scored as a miss. Dry firing without release of the propelling charge is permitted except during Finals.

6.11.4.1.2 If a shooter wishes to change, or to fill, his gas or air cylinder, he must leave the firing point to do so (permission must be obtained). No extra time will be allowed to compensate for time lost by a shooter who leaves the firing point to change or to fill his gas or air cylinder.

6.11.4.2 The gun may only be loaded with one (1) pellet.

6.11.4.2.1 If the gun is accidentally loaded with more than one (1) pellet:

6.11.4.2.2 if the shooter is aware of the situation, he must raise his non-shooting hand to indicate to a Range Officer that he has a problem. A Range Officer must then supervise the unloading of the gun and no penalty will be incurred. No extra time will be allowed, but the shooter may continue in the normal way;

6.11.4.2.3 if the shooter is unaware of the situation at the time, as soon as he realises what has happened he must report it to a range officer, then the following procedure will apply:

6.11.4.2.4 if there are two (2) hits on the target, the score of the higher value shot will be counted and the second shot will be annulled.

6.11.4.2.5 if there is only one (1) hit on the target, this will be counted.

6.11.5 Interruptions

6.11.5.1 If a shooter must stop firing for more than three (3) minutes through no fault of his own, he may demand extra time equal to the amount of time lost, or the time remaining when the interruption occurred, plus one (1) minute, if during the last few minutes of the competition.

6.11.5.2 If a shooter is interrupted for more than five (5) minutes, or moved to another firing point, he may have additional unlimited sighting shots at one sighting target at the beginning of his remaining shooting time together with any time extension granted plus an additional five (5) minutes. If automatic paper target systems which have no possibility for providing a new sighting target are in use, the sighting shots should be fired on the next unused competition target. Two (2) competition shots should be fired at the next competition targets (unles there is only one (1) shot remaining according to the instructions given by the Range officials or Jury Members. Range officials or Jury Members must ensure that a complete explanation is recorded on the Range Incident Report and, if aplicable, on the Register Keeper’s score card..

6.11.5.3 Any extension of time allowed by the Jury or Range Officers must be marked clearly, stating the reason on a Range Incident Report and if applicable on the Register Keeper’s score card.

USA In USA Shooting sanctioned competitions, if register keepers are not 6.11.5.3A used, rule 6.11.5.4 does not apply.

6.11.6 Infringements and Disciplinary Rules

6.11.6.1 If a shooter begins an event with an unapproved gun or equipment, he must be penalized with the deduction of two (2) points from the result of the lowest value shot of the first competition series. He must not be permitted to continue until his gun or equipment has been approved by Equipment Control. He may only resume firing at a time determined by the Jury. No additional sighting shots or extra time will be allowed.

USA In USA Shooting sanctioned competitions, if an equipment check is not 6.11.6.1A performed, rule 6.11.6.1 does not apply. Spot checks of equipment by match officials are permitted, however, and any shooter found using equipment not meeting the standards prescribed in these rules must be penalized with the deduction of two (2) points from each stage fired with that equipment. The shooter must correct or replace the equipment in question before continuing the match. No additional sighting shots or extra time will be allowed.

6.11.6.2 If a shooter alters a gun or equipment which has already been checked so that it no longer conforms to the rules, before or during the competition, he must be disqualified.

6.11.6.3 If there are any doubts regarding any alteration, the gun or equipment must be returned to Equipment Control for re-inspection and approval if it qualifies.

6.11.6.4 If a shooter arrives late for a competition, he may participate but will not be credited with any extra time, except when his lateness is due to circumstances beyond his control. If it can be proved that his lateness

was due to circumstances beyond his control, the Jury must whenever possible grant extra time without disruption of the overall shooting program. In this case the Jury will determine when and on which firing point he may make up for the missed time (series).

6.11.6.5 If a shooter’s equipment has been passed by Equipment Control, but the shooter is unable to produce the Equipment Control Card at the start of the event, the shooter may commence, but will be penalized with a deduction of two (2) points from the lowest value shot of the first series, if he (or his coach or team official) cannot obtain confirmation that the equipment has been previously passed by the Control Section before the official end of the shooting time for that relay of that event. The responsibility rests with the shooter (or his coach or team official) to visit the Equipment Control Section for this purpose. No extra shooting time will be allowed.

6.11.6.5.1 Running Target 50 m two (2) points from the total of the stage

6.11.7 Irregular Shots in 10 m, 50 m and 300 m events

6.11.7.1 Too many shots in an event or position

6.11.7.1.1 If a shooter fires more shots in the event or position than are provided for in the program, the extra shot(s) must be annulled on the last competition target(s). If the shot(s) cannot be identified, the highest value shot(s) must be annulled on the last competition target. The shooter must also be penalized by a deduction of two (2) points for each excessive shot fired, deducted from the lowest value shot(s) in the first series.

In 25 m events the rule above applies but the deduction will be made in the actual series.

USA If the competition is the combined prone & three positiion match, there 6.11.7.1.1A is no excessive shots(s) in the prone stage until the shooter fires 61 or

more shots. When this occurs the excess shot(s) will not be scored and the penalty will be deducted from the fifth series.

6.11.7.2 Too many shots per paper target

6.11.7.2.1 If a shooter fires more shots at one of his match targets than are provided for in the program of the event, he must not be penalized for the first two (2) shots. For the third and all succeeding such misplaced shots he must be penalized by a deduction of two (2) points for each one in the event from the series in which the occurrence happens. He must also fire a fewer number of shots at the remaining targets so that the number of shots does not exceed that provided for in the program.

6.11.7.2.2 The scoring process in this situation requires the transfer of the value of the excessive shot(s) to targets with less than the originally programmed number of shots, thus bringing each target to the full number of shots designated in the program and the Rules.

6.11.7.2.3 If the actual shot(s) to be transferred cannot be established clearly through the notes of the Register Keeper, the shot(s) with the lowest value must be transferred forward to the next target(s) or the shot(s) with the highest value must be transferred back to the previous

target(s) so that the shooter will gain no advantage in a “count back” situation.

6.11.7.2.4 All three position Rifle events are considered as one (1) event.

6.11.8 Cross-fires

6.11.8.1 Cross-fires of competition shots must be scored as misses.

6.11.8.1.1 If a shooter fires a sighting shot on the competition target of another shooter, he must be penalized by deduction of two (2) points from his own score deducted from the first series.

6.11.8.2 If a shooter fires a sighting shot on the sighting target of another shooter no penalty is incurred.

6.11.8.3 If a shooter receives a confirmed cross-fire shot and it is impossible to determine which shot is his, he must be credited with the value of the highest undetermined shot.

6.11.8.4 If there are more hits on a shooter’s competition target than are provided for in the program, and if it is impossible to confirm that another shooter(s) fired the shot(s), the hit(s) of the highest value must be nullified.

6.11.8.5 If a shooter wishes to disclaim a shot on his target, he must report this immediately to a Range Officer.

6.11.8.6 If the Range Officer confirms that the shooter did not fire the disputed shot(s), he must make the necessary entry on a Range Incident Report and on the Range Register and the shot must be annulled.

6.11.8.7 If the Range Officer cannot confirm beyond all reasonable doubt that the shooter did not fire the disputed shot(s), the shot(s) must be credited to the shooter and must be so recorded.

6.11.8.8 The following must be considered as reasons to justify the annulment of a shot:

6.11.8.8.1 if the Register Keeper or other range official confirms by his observation of the shooter and the target that the shooter did not fire the shot;

6.11.8.8.2 if a missed shot is reported by another shooter or Register Keeper or other range official at approximately the same time, and from within the neighboring two or three firing points;

6.11.8.9 When using 300 m electronic scoring targets, cross-fires should not register on the recipient’s target, but an indication will be received at the control center. The firer, whose target does not receive the expected shot, will be given a miss (zero) and an indication that he has cross-fired.

6.11.9 Disturbances

Should a shooter consider that he was disturbed while firing a shot, he must hold his gun pointing down range and immediately inform the Range Officer or Jury Member. He must not disturb other shooters.

6.13.2 After the failure is rectified and the full range is in operation, an additional five (5) minutes will be added to the competition time remaining. The time for recommencing is to be announced over the loudspeaker system at least five (5) minutes beforehand. Shooters must be allowed to resume their position in the five (5) minutes before the competition restarts. Unlimited sighting shots must be allowed during the remaining shooting time, but only before competition shots are resumed.

6.13.3 Procedure of the failure of a SINGLE target in 10 m, 50 m and 300 m Events

6.13.3.1 If the Electronic Scoring Target cannot be repaired within five (5) minutes, the shooter will be moved to a reserve position and when he is ready to shoot an additional five (5) minutes will be added to the competition time remaining. He will be permitted unlimited sighting shots before he starts the remaining competition shots.

6.13.4 Complaint concerning failure to register or display a shot on the monitor of an Electronic Scoring Target system

6.13.4.1 The shooter must immediately inform the nearest range official of the failure. A range official must make a written note of the time of the complaint. One or more Jury Member(s) must go to the firing position.

6.13.4.2 The shooter will be directed to fire one more aimed shot at his target.

6.13.4.2.1 If the value and location of this shot is registered and displayed on the monitor, the shooter will be directed to continue the competition. The value, location and time of firing of this extra shot must be recorded, its shot-number (having included the missing shot) and its value and its shot-location, and the firing point number must be given to the Jury in writing and recorded on the Range Register and a Range Incident Report.

6.13.4.2.2 After the end of that relay of the competition the Procedure for Examination of Electronic Scoring Targets will be applied. Using this information and the time of the extra shot and its location, the Classification Jury will determine whether all shots, including the extra shot are recorded on the computer record.

6.13.4.2.3 If all the shots are recorded correctly, then the questioned shot will be counted in the score of the shooter, as well as the shot fired immediately after (as the “extra” shot), but the last shot fired (extra to the competition) will be annulled.

6.13.4.2.4 If the questioned shot has not been located applying the Procedure for Examination of Electronic Scoring Targets nor elsewhere, then only those correctly recorded shots excluding the last shot fired (extra to the competition) are to be counted in the score of the shooter.

6.13.4.2.5 If the questioned shot has not been located in the computer memory, but is located elsewhere, the Classification Jury will determine the validity and score-value of the questioned shot.

6.13.4.3 If the extra shot fired as directed does not register or display and the Electronic Scoring Target cannot be repaired within five (5) minutes, the

shooter will be moved to a reserve position and when he is ready to shoot an additional five (5) minutes will be added to the competition time remaining. He will be permitted unlimited sighting shots.

6.13.4.3.1 In 10 m and 50 m Rifle and Pistol Events the shooter will repeat the two (2) competition shots which did not register nor display on the previous target used.

6.13.4.3.2 In 10 m Running Target Events the shooter will be permitted two (2) minutes to resume his position and then allowes sighting shots per Rule. Then he will repeat the two (2) competition shots which did not register or display on the previous target used and fire the remaining shots of the series.

6.13.4.4 The shooter will be credited with the score of all the shots which were displayed on the monitor of the first target plus the score of all the properly fired competition shots which were displayed on the second target used. If the two (2) extra shots were later found in the computer record of the previous target they will be annulled.

6.13.4.5 If a shooter complains during sighting shots about the correct recording or evaluation of the shot(s), the Jury may offer to move him to another firing point. The shooter is given appropriate extra time. The Jury examines the sighting shot(s) as soon as possible applying the Procedure for Examination of Electronic Scoring Targets on the original firing point.

6.13.4.5.1 If this subsequent examination shows that the target on the original firing point provided correct results, the shooter will be penalized with the DEDUCTION of two (2) points from the lowest value shot of the first competition series.

6.13.5 Failure of the paper or rubber band

6.13.5.1 If Jury decides that the problem is because of the failure of the paper or rubber band to advance, the shooter will be moved to a reserve position. He will be permitted unlimited sighting shots to be taken within the time remaining for the competition plus any additional time granted. Then he will repeat the number of competition shots determined by the Jury. The shooter will be credited with the score of all the shots which were correctly displayed on the monitor of the first target plus the score of all the necessary competition shots fired on the second target to complete the course of fire. After the relay the Classfication Jury will decide which shots are to be counted from each target.

6.13.6.1 After the relay, the detailed printer results (LOG-Print) must be generated by the Technical or Range Officers for all firing lanes on which complaints or protests have been made, and for the immediately adjacent lanes, before the equipments are reset for the next relay.

6.13.6.2 After the completion of the relay, the Procedure for Examination of Electronic Scoring Targets will be applied. Any non-indicated shot must be scored by the Classification Jury.

6.14 TIE-BREAKING

6.14.1 Individual Ties

6.14.1.1 All tied scores will be broken except for perfect scores.

6.14.2 Ties for the 300 m, 50 m, 10 m and 25 m events (if there is not a Shoot-off) will be decided by the following Count Back Rules:

6.14.2.1 the highest number of inner tens; USA 6.14.2.1A At USA Shooting sanctioned competitions where paper targets are used,

tie breaking using 6.14.2.1 should not be implemented. Please follow rules 6.14.2.2 - 6.14.2.4 to break ties.

6.14.2.2 the highest score of the last ten shot series working backward by 10 shot series in full ring scoring (not inner tens or decimals) until the tie is broken;

6.14.2.3 the highest number of 10’s, 9’s, 8’s, etc.;

For ranges with only two (2) bays, the above may be used.

SCORING

Scoring is hit or miss only; each hit counts one (1) point; each miss counts zero points. The size of the hit zone is within the 9.7 zone on the 25m rapid fire pistol target, The actual size of the hit zone to be used in ISSF Championship Final round competitions may be adjusted by the ISSF Executive Committee, but any changes in hit zone size must be announced in advance. A graphic display of hits and misses in each competition series will be shown on shooter’s monitors and on display screens in the Finals range.

Competitors in Finals start from zero (0). Results in the Qualification entitle competitors to participate in the Finals. During Finals, results are cumulative with each shooter’s final ranking determined by the total number of hits for all series fired in the Finals (excluding any shoot-offs). If a deduction is applied to the score for a competition series, no score below zero (0) will be recorded (e.g. 3-1 point deduction = 2, 0-1 point deduction = 0).

REPORTING AND START

TIME 30:00 min

before

The Start Time for the competition is when the command “LOAD” is given for the first competition series. Competitors must report to the Preparation Area for the competition at least 30 minutes before the Start Time. A one (1) hit penalty will be deducted from the score of the first competition series if the shooter does not report in time (30 minutes before Start Time) for the Finals.

Competitors must report with their equipment, competition clothing and a national team uniform that may be worn in the awards ceremony. The Jury must use the Finals Start List to confirm that all Finalists are present and that their names and nations are correctly recorded in the results system and on the scoreboards. Competitors may change clothes if necessary and Juries must complete equipment checks during the reporting period. Competitors must be allowed to place their equipment, which may include a reserve pistol that can be used to replace a malfunctioning pistol, on their firing points not less than 15 minutes before the start time. Neither gun cases nor equipment containers may be left on the field of play behind the firing line.

PREPARATION PERIOD AND

SIGHTING SHOTS

10:00 min before

There will be a preparation period and one (1) sighting series before the presentation. The Range Officer will call the competitors to the firing line ten (10) minutes before the start time. The Range Officer will then start a two-minute preparation period by announcing “PREPARATION BEGINS NOW”.

After two (2) minutes, the Range Officer will announce “END OF PREPARATION”.

Sighting series must begin immediately after the preparation period. Sighting series will be fired by using the same command and timing sequence described in the Detailed Procedure for Commands and Firing below. Each competitor will fire one (1) sighting series of five (5) shots in four (4) seconds, in sequence, starting with the competitor on the left. No score announcements will be made. After the sighting series, the competitors must place their unloaded pistols on the bench and turn to face the spectators for the presentation of competitors. The Range Officer must verify that the actions are open and there are no cartridges in the chambers or magazines.

PRESENTA-TION OF


After the sighting series, The Announcer will introduce the Finalists by giving the name, qualification result and brief information about each Finalist’s most important accomplishments. The Announcer will also introduce the Chief Range Officer and the Jury Member in charge. Immediately after the introductions, the competitors will go to their assigned firing points and wait for the command “LOAD.” Any Finalist who is not on his assigned position when the Presentation of the Finalists begins is automatically given the last place(s) in the Final with the Qualification Score(s) and is not allowed to participate in the Final.

DETAILED PROCEDURE

FOR COMMANDS AND FIRING

Each Finals competition series consists of five (5) shots in four (4) seconds. For each series, all competitors remaining in the competition will shoot separately and in succession. The order of firing for all series is from left to right. 30 seconds after the presentation of competitors, the Range Officer will command “FOR THE FIRST COMPETITION SERIES, LOAD”. After the command “LOAD,” competitors have one minute to load two magazines (rule 8.6.4.2 does not apply for the Final). Only one “LOAD” command is given before the start of the first competition series. During the entire Finals, competitors may continue to load magazines as required. After the command “LOAD” competitors may adjust their pistols, do aiming exercises or arm lifts except when the other competitor in the five-target group is firing. During this time the other competitor in the five-target group may take his pistol in his hand to prepare, but he may not do aiming exercises or arm lifts. One minute after the command “LOAD,” the Range Officer will call the name of the first competitor by stating “(FAMILY NAME OF SHOOTER #1)”. After the competitor’s name is announced, he may put the magazine in his pistol and prepare to fire. 15 seconds after calling the name of the first competitor, the Range Officer will announce “ATTENTION” and turn the red lights on. The first competitor must bring his pistol to the Ready Position (Rule 8.6.1). The green lights will come on after a delay of seven (7) seconds. After the four second firing period, the red lights will come on for 10-14 seconds (recycling time of the targets). During this 10-14 second period, the Announcer will report the score for that series (e.g., “four hits”). Immediately after the first competitor’s score is announced and the EST Technical Officer signals that the targets are ready, the red lights will go off. As soon as the red lights go off, the Range Officer will announce “(FAMILY NAME OF SHOOTER #2)”. 15 seconds later, the command “ATTENTION” will be given and the timing procedure for that series will proceed. After that series, the Announcer will report the score. The other competitors will continue to fire in order until all competitors remaining in the competition have fired that series. There will be a 30-second pause after all shooters complete one (1) series. During this pause, the Announcer will comment on the current ranking of the competitors, the best scores, competitors who were eliminated, etc. For the second series, the Range Officer will announce “(FAMILY NAME OF SHOOTER #1)” and continue.

START OF FINAL ROUND COMPETITION

0:00 before

30 seconds after the presentation of Finalists is complete, the Range Officer will give the commands to begin the firing procedure for the first competitor. This sequence will continue until all competitors remaining in the competition have fired that series. All competitors remaining in the competition will be commanded to fire additional series as required for that stage of the competition. (details under Detailed Commands and Firing Procedure).

6.16.8 Target Failure 10 m, 25 m, 50 m Events

6.16.8.1 If a failure of all Finals targets occurs, the following procedure must be used.

ELIMINATIONS

After all Finalists have fired the fourth series, the lowest ranking shooter is eliminated (6th place). After the remaining Finalists have fired the fifth series, the lowest ranked competitor is eliminated (5th place). After the remaining Finalists have fired the sixth series, the lowest ranked competitor remaining is eliminated (4th place). After the remaining Finalists have fired the seventh series, the lowest ranked competitor remaining is eliminated (3rd place, bronze medal winner). When a competitor is eliminated, he must unload his pistol (remove magazine and open action) and lay it on the bench before stepping back. Any preloaded magazines must be unloaded. A Range Officer must verify that the action is open and that there is no cartridge in the chamber or magazines.


After the two remaining Finalists fire the eighth series, and if there are no ties and no protests, the Range Officer will announce “RESULTS ARE FINAL”. The higher ranking competitor becomes the gold medal winner and the second ranking shooter becomes the silver medal winner.

PROCLAMA-TION OF

MEDALISTS

Immediately after the results are final, the Announcer proclaims:


“THE SILVER MEDAL WINNER IS (NAME) FROM (NATION) WITH A TOTAL SCORE OF (SCORE)”

“THE BRONZE MEDAL WINNER IS (NAME) FROM (NATION) WITH A TOTAL SCORE OF (SCORE)”

LATE SHOTS If a competitor fires a late shot or does not shoot at all five (5) targets in time, a deduction of one (1) hit for each overtime shot will be taken from the score for that series. The shot will be marked with “OT”

MALFUNC-TIONS

If a malfunction occurs, a Range Officer must determine if the malfunction is allowable or non-allowable. If the malfunction is allowable, the competitor must re-fire the series and will receive the score of the re-fired series. The competitor has 15 seconds to be ready for the re-fire series. For any further allowable malfunction no re-fire is permitted and the hits that are displayed will be counted. If the malfunction is non-allowable, a penalty of two (2) hits must be deducted from that competitor’s score.

TIE-BREAKING

If there is a tie for the lowest ranking competitor(s) to be eliminated, the tied competitors will fire additional tiebreaking four (4) second series until the tie is broken. For all tie-breaking series, the shooter on the left starts.

For the tie-breaking series, the Range Officer will call the name of the first tied competitor by stating “(FAMILY NAME OF SHOOTER #1)” and the normal firing procedure applies.

6.16.8.2 The shots/series that were commpleted by all shooters will be scored as a sub-total.

6.16.8.3 If the failure cannot be corrected to permit continuation of the Finals within one (1) hour, the recorded sub-total will be scored as the Finals Total of the competition and awards made on that basis.

6.16.8.4 When the failure is rectified and if it is possible to continue the Finals within one hour, the following procedure will apply:

6.16.8.4.1 10 m and 50 m Events

The remaining shots will be completed. Five (5) minutes unlimited sighting shots will be permitted after the shooters are in their positions.

6.16.8.4.2 25 m Events

6.16.8.6.4 For the 25m Rapid Fire Pistol Men event, the results (as in 6.16.8.5.2) must be shown on the main scoreboard and printed in the official results bulletin.

USA If possible, scorers can be protected down range and to the side of the 6.16.8.6.A firing area. The scorers leave the protected area on command of the range officer between shots, score the targets in place and call out the results. If shooters are shooting more than one shot at the record bulls-eye, the scored shots must be marked or pasted.

USA Another method of scoring is to have each shooter or a spotter call out 6.16.8.6. his or her shot value on command after each shot as best as he or she can judge it through a spotting scope. This system is unofficial but can be very accurate. When the final is completed, the targets must be scored officially and the official score announced.

6.16.9 Protests in Finals

6.16.9.1 Any protests must be immediate and made by the shooter or his coach by holding up his hand.

6.16.9.2 Any protest will be decided by the Range Jury immediately.
